Don't like to pick just one but, if I must.....

Led Zeppelin

Performance wise it would be a toss up between Floyd and Queen - musically for me another Gilmour vote I'm afraid

 

[Iaing]

John Paul Jones.
Superb musician, songwriter and arranger.

 

[G1BB0]

ahhh bollox, this is just sublime, am edging towards Gilmour

For me it's easy and has to be Bruce Springsteen. His lyrics at times are just spine tingling (think killing me softly) and live he is just stunning. Every single day for me starts with Bruce on my MP3 alarm clock :thup:

 

[Whee]

Cliff Richard - nobody else compares in my book.

Anyone for tennis?

And just because this is one of the best music videos ever, by one of my favourite current bands....

Dylan. Any era, the guy just rules. Ask any musician, the majority will pick Bobcat.

Is the correct answer.

 

[bluewolf]

As seen in the greatest music DVD ever filmed.....

Damn you Bluewolf, you trumped me with BB as I was just about to post this:

[video=youtube_share;RKzTenirFHE]http://youtu.be/RKzTenirFHE[/video]

Love the solos on this number - infact that whole performance in Montreal was awesome.

I love the bug dude on backing vocals, talk about feelin' it :thup:

 

[DarthFader]

Drums ..................................Cozy Powell
Bass.....................................Lemmy
Guitar...................................Gary Moore
Vocals..................................Geoff Tate

 

[HotDogAssassin]

Ralph McTell

 

[Monty_Brown]

For me, "best" is a daft word in music, too subjective and all that.....

But in the sprit of the OP, all-time favourite is Jason Pierce (Spiritualized & Spacemen 3). Drones and tones... yeaaaaaaaah.

BTW, Bluewolf - noticed your avatar. First gig I ever saw was the Pixies at Aston Villa Leisure centre when I was about 13. Thought I was going to die it was so intense!
